FUJIFILM has released a short film titled ETHERNA, directed and shot by Turkish cinematographer Ahmet Sesigürgil. The film was produced to showcase the visual capabilities of the FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55, a medium-format cinema camera designed for high-detail cinematography.
Cinematography and Aesthetic
Sesigürgil is known for his cinematic approach, emphasizing natural light, soft color transitions, and a strong sense of texture. In ETHERNA, he explores how the GFX ETERNA 55 captures tonal depth and skin tones under varying light conditions. The short demonstrates the subtle balance between sharpness and organic image softness—qualities often sought after in premium digital cinema cameras.
Camera Performance
The FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 employs a large-format sensor that supports high dynamic range, offering a look closer to film than typical digital systems. Its ETERNA color profile, inspired by FUJIFILM’s traditional motion picture film stock, contributes to cinematic color reproduction. According to FUJIFILM, the project showcases how the camera retains highlight detail and shadow nuance without requiring heavy post-production grading.
Behind the Production
The film was produced in collaboration with a small crew in Turkey, capturing both landscapes and intimate character scenes. Sesigürgil emphasized simplicity in lighting and camera movement, relying on the natural characteristics of the lens and sensor rather than elaborate setups.
“I wanted to see how far we could push the GFX ETERNA 55 in natural environments,” said Ahmet Sesigürgil. “The camera’s texture and tonal realism impressed me—it feels like film.”
Conclusion
ETHERNA serves as both a showcase of FUJIFILM’s new technology and a cinematic exploration of light and tone through a filmmaker’s lens.
